“A kitty serenely lapping at a bowl of milk is a familiar image, but believe it or not, many adult cats are lactose intolerant. Drinking milk can actually cause severe diarrhea in cats, and cleaning that liter box is not a happy ending to any story. The same goes for many other foods we eat but shouldn’t be shared. Some are downright poisonous to cats, whereas others may cause gastrointestinal distress only for some. Here’s a list of specific people foods your cat should never eat.”

Lucky, my cat, thinks he’s a human and tries to help himself to our food whenever possible. And even though we try really hard to keep him away from our food, we have had times where we’ve found him lapping up my husband’s whiskey and ginger ale or my kids’ leftover chicken from dinner. Fortunately he’s never gotten sick from his thievery, but he could have been. To keep your kitty safer than my Lucky (who apparently is quite lucky indeed) please check out this list of foods to avoid feeding your cats.
